You can do it anywhere it is legal. Time to mention Utah online.

I was just going to mention that. So easy peazy. And for Morocco K1 is a t=risk especially since you did it before.

I never done a K1, I did a CR-1 for my ex wife 11 years ago, the process for a K1 is easier than marrying in Morocco and doing a CR-1 but if it comes to that then that's what it is. If things do move forward

Casa is not easy, anyway a few trips see where it goes and marriage or fiancee if appropriate..

I'm American. I got divorced in Morocco. I paid a lawyer to represent me; I wasn't there. The ex had to see a judge many times. 

Anyway, if the Moroccan woman wants a divorce, she can do it, it will be a hassle. The judge will ask what happened, where is he... 

I wouldn't recommend getting married in Morocco. First, the family knows the courts will favor the Moroccan, doesn't the West do the same, but the difference is you are in a foreign legal system. I can understand if children are involved. But if that's not the case let the man go. Also, Moroccan woman recently got the right to ask for a divorce; they aren't going to give up that right and the benefits (your wallet) that come with it. Also remember woman marry up; there will be expectations - hidden agendas. Also there will be culture shock - Culture plays a big role in Morocco.

So, now let me be fair. I know several smart and religious men who found intelligent and religious Moroccan woman for marriage - Allahumma barak. I wasn't wise when I proposed; I had many red flags but didn't pay attention. Also, Westerners don't understand what colonization, historical trauma and generational poverty do to the mind. You can't understand why some Moroccans scam and insist on getting married in Morocco. So, try to learn the language, then begin to see the ugly and the beautiful side, the culture, and make a wise decision - apply that any poor country.

Why did you not divorce in the US State you live in?

A friend told me about that right to ask for a divorce now and the benefits that come with it lol. Luckily I was able to get the divorce done in Morocco as well before she took advantage as apparently the American divorce means nothing if you married in Morocco, backwards country. She could of made a wave of problems for me there. What part of Morocco was the girl you married from?

You are still considered married in Morocco if your marriage took place in Morocco regardless of what you do here and can be problematic for you.

I do not know if that is true and if it is who cares, but getting divorced in the US solves a lot of issues and is likely to be much simpler.

If you never go there again you probably don't have worry about it

 

If you do go there again what are you worried about?
